Me and Nigel spent the morning on the allotment doing some planting and weeding, it was sooooo lovely to get down there in the sunshine! Nigel's been doing bits and pieces whenever the weather's been good enough but it's been so cold up until now that it's slowed everything up. There were a few people there today, making the most of the nice weather. I hope it stays like this now! I was going to take some pictures down there but silly me left the memory card in the computer!
When we got home I made a pan of vegetable soup and a chive and tomato loaf - it was meant to be a cheese and chive loaf but I discovered we had no cheese so I had to improvise. I'm glad I did because it turned out lovely - I'll be making it again!! I made a plain loaf too, as we were running low on bread and I didn't fancy going to the shops.
I decided to start clearing out the cold frame in the garden, it's been really neglected since last year because we put all out effort into getting the allotment going and our poor garden suffered because of it. Anyway, I thought I'd get it sorted out because it's a bit of extra growing space and it's a pity to waste it, I'll use it as a little raised bed. It was in a right state and full of wildlife - the kind with eight legs!! Here we have the 'before' picture. What a mess!
I've cleared it out and it's starting to look better - I'll be able to get some things planted in there soon :o)
Oh, I took the fruit water with tme to the allotment today, and it was lush! :o)
